Daily Checks

Before use, inspect the fixture for visible damage, loose fasteners, excessive weld spatter, and worn locating surfaces. Check that clamps open and close correctly and that locking pins engage as intended.

Clean the relevant contact and mounting surfaces before positioning the workpiece. This daily discipline prevents small issues from compounding into positioning errors that compromise weld quality.

02

Periodic Inspections

At suitable intervals, depending on usage, check:

• Positioning squares and angle rulers for damage or changes in geometry.
• Locating pins for wear and deformation.
• Clamps for abnormal movement or damaged contact points.
• Welding table surfaces and mounting holes for damage.
• Fixture fasteners for looseness.
• Modular accessories for compatibility and secure retention.

Where dimensional accuracy is important, verify critical reference points against suitable measurement standards. Documenting these checks creates a useful history that can reveal gradual shifts before they lead to rejected parts.

The required maintenance frequency depends on operating conditions, workload, and the type of fixture — but consistency builds repeatable accuracy over time.

03

Maintenance Practices to Avoid

Do not continue using visibly damaged accessories simply because they still fit. A worn locating pin or distorted clamp may hold a workpiece temporarily while introducing progressive error into every welded assembly.

Avoid unauthorized modifications that may affect strength or dimensional accuracy. Field alterations rarely account for the original heat treatment, material specification, or tolerance stack-up designed into the fixture.

Follow the manufacturer's guidance for lubrication, cleaning, inspection, and replacement. Adhering to recommended intervals and procedures protects both the fixture investment and the consistency of welded output.
